Abstract

A survey application generates a survey of components associated with a three-dimensional model of an object. The survey application receives video feeds, location information, and orientation information from wearable devices in proximity to the object. The three-dimensional model of the object is generated based on the video feeds, sensor data, location information, and orientation information received from the wearable devices. Analytics is performed from the video feeds to identify a manipulation on the object. The three-dimensional model of the object is updated based on the manipulation on the object. A dynamic status related to the manipulation on the object is generated with respect to reference data related the object. A survey of components associated with the three-dimensional model of the object is generated.
